Blog - Three big development projects on Broward agenda, including 1,250 more homes
The Broward County Commission will consider two significant development proposals for the first time at its Jan. 12 meeting.
One item that could have the biggest impact is an amendment to the land use plan for a large swath of Miramar to boost residential development at the expense of industrial. The Miramar Regional Activity Center is a 2,205-square-foot area on the south side of Pembroke Road between Flamingo Road and Palm Avenue. It includes Miramar Town Center with city hall, apartments, a performance center and retail, and the Miramar Park of Commerce.

The amendment would allow an additional 1,250 residential units to be developed in the area, for a total of 7,460 units new and existing, in exchange for decreasing the allowable industrial space by 950,000 square feet.

Sunbeam Properties, which developed the 5-million-square-foot Miramar Park of Commerce, is the applicant. The amendment would allow it to sell some of its industrial-zoned land to residential developers, since land is more valuable for residential now.
Apartments proposed in Sunrise
A 163-unit apartment complex could be approved in Sunrise after the conversion of the Shamrock Extended Stay Hotel.
The application for the property at 4099 N. Pine Island Road was filed by 4099 NW 88 Ave LLC and 4001 Pine Island Holdings, both affiliates of Boca Raton-based Trans Global Realty.
The property currently has a 23,526-square-foot church and a 119-unit extended stay hotel. The new apartments would replace the hotel and cover some of the church’s parking lot.
Trans Global’s affiliates bought the hotel units for $7.5 million and the church for $2.4 million in 2014.
Self-storage proposed in Pompano Beach
A New York developer wants to build a self-storage facility just south of Pompano Beach Airpark.
My Storage Bin, managed by Avrohom Oustatcher in Brooklyn, wants to rezone the 3.8-acre site at 51 N.E. 10th Street to allow up to 250,000 square feet of self-storage space, up from the 80,000 square feet currently permitted.
The developer probably won’t use all of that space at once. The city recently approved a site plan for 96,954 square feet of self-storage there.
It acquired the property, which is along West Dixie Highway, for $1.45 million in July 2015.
